Dear MC,
If you weren't annoyed at me texting you late on a Friday night, I'm assuming a Tuesday evening e-mail should be OK (especially since I think you stay late on Tuesdays, so it's part of your office hours). I just had to get some of the feelings out because they were kind of overwhelming. And I wanted you to know that you're appreciated and helping me, because I get the sense you need/crave validation, too. I probably should have said that you didn't need to respond, and you don't really need to (but just a "thanks for sharing" would be nice of course!)

(I'll stop spamming this board now!)
